I know abuela's curtains may come to mind when you hear the word "brocade," but I just can't get enough; it always looks so chic and expensive! Not to mention that this season, the old-school tela, got reinvented in lightweight fabrics and sexy new silhouettes.

How to pull it off: Unless you're blessed with a long lean bod like Giselle (and we're not), you need to break it up with solid color or other layers. For the office, try a blazer over your LBD, or a mini skirt with your fave button-down—it'll instantly amp it up! Take it to evening in skinnies (so hot with a white tee).

If you're one of those dangly-bracelet chicas who is always loaded up with the latest accessories, try a pair of flashy flats with leggings, or brocaded belt with your jeans. A fab bag like this one from White House Black Market will give any ensemble a trendy accent. Just remember topair with solids, no matching counterparts please!
